> You can't seriously believe this. That, in general, assholes rise to the top? There have been studies upon studies upon studies upon even more studies of how socio-/psychopaths have what it takes. That's not to say that Zuck is a sociopath or psychopath, but I'm pretty sure there's something going on, for which we don't have a word/diagnosis, that is a sibling of the former two. Scraping the college yearbook website to populate a website for voting on the attractiveness of female students (which is what Facebook started as) isn't all that impressive. A marginally gifted 12 year old could not only code that up in a week, but would also have the requisite lack of emotional maturity required to plaster women on a website for voting. He identified the very worst, and most vulnerable, of what we are: how we count likes, dislikes, and friends (when "friends" become nothing more than a token economy). Instead of desperately trying to connect with humanity (like the rest of us neurodiverse individuals), he chose to disconnect humanity as a whole. > You can't seriously believe this. And the inability to seriously consider what your fellow human is warning you about is just the tip of that iceberg.
